Guest Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If the EFL can’t impose it this season ,but gave us a points deduction for next season that would have relegated us this season there’s gonna be absolute metdown from the 3 who do go down They have to deal with it this season surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise no case to answer Yes, but it ties into the process, which is important as I assume there's no chance of getting any charges hearing concluded within three weeks.

Fair point. Long way to go yet, arbitration first, then hearing, then appeals. I think the most likely chance of resolving this season is a compromised punishment which doesn't affect our league status. Similar to Birmingham, given a points deduction at a point in the season when safe and not likely to see them relegated. The longer arbitration goes on, the more confident I become (probably misplaced) that we will win, or evidence enough mitigation for a token punishment.

I didn’t read your post like that (I mis-read the part where you said end up staying up by 1 point more than the deduction would have been) my bad yes, your post scenario would be typical Edited March 8, 2020 by Hirstys Salopettes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Having a team start a season on -21 is making an absolute mockery of the competition , not saying it’s ok to break rules but there has to be a better way of dealing with it than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 You’d expect to hear something soonish with Birmingham having their charges overturned on Friday. I don’t think the EFL will hesitate once the appeals done and dusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I presume the argument about whether there is a legal case against the EFL for our "legitimate expectation" has to be completed first. I suspect there is no set time frame for this as its effectively a civil case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrs Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) For the good of both us and football in general it must happen this season. I don’t know if that’s realistic though to be honest. All the talk about starting afresh next year would be undermined if we go into the season with a points penalty. And agree with those who think the team who finished third from bottom this year will kick off massively if we’re seen as somehow getting away with it. If Chansiri was, as some believe, just using stalling tactics in the hope we’d get promotion first and escape jurisdiction then now promotion is off the table we desperately need to learn our fate and get on with life.
